Beginning of the Year Writing Lessons & Slides for First Grade!

$9.00

View more like this: $5-$10, 1st Grade, Digital, Writing

In this first grade beginning of the year writing unit we are focusing on the foundations of writing. I like to teach this unit AFTER I teach my students their procedural lessons (what will our writing block look like? What are our responsibilities? Etc.), but you can simply begin the year with these ten lessons!

  • Description

These types of lessons will go over some of the basics of illustrations, sentence writing, punctuation, and more. These lessons get us started and we continue to go over them and add to them throughout the year through genre-based lessons.

Some of these lessons will have been shown in the procedural lessons and will be a re-reteach lesson. This is a good time to review these foundational skills (spelling and labeling for example).

Throughout this 2 week unit, the core lessons included are:

  1. I can use shapes to make illustrations
  2. I can use shapes to make backgrounds
  3. I can add labels to my illustrations
  4. I can use sounds to spell words
  5. I can identify the parts of a complete sentence
  6. I can write complete sentences with a period
  7. I can write complete sentences with a question mark
  8. I can write complete sentences with an exclamation point
  9. I can write superstar sentences
  10. I can write more than one sentence about something I know

*All anchor chart examples and printables are linked and included within this document.*

There are also digital slides provided for the unit which are included on Page 3!

Please note: These lessons are already included in the SJT Writing Club.
